Detroit Motorcycle Officer's Leg Amputated in Hit, Run; Weapon Stolen

An off-duty Detroit police officer was robbed while lying on the
ground wounded after a hit-and-run crash on Saturday, according to
Local 4 reports.

Officer Wiley Stewart was driving home from
work on his motorcycle when a car driven by Mack Howell, 43, pulled
out in front of him at Edwin and Mt. Elliot streets, police said.

Police said Howell briefly stopped and checked the damage to
his vehicle before fleeing the scene.

"In fact, (Howell)
tried to get someone to help him open the hood of his car, which was
damaged in the collision, by offering him a beer in return," said
Cmdr. Craig Schwartz, of the Detroit Police Department.

Tyrone Lavington, who lives in the area, called 911 after
spotting Stewart lying in a field, wounded.
